KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1031 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

- Dry weather expected for several days

- Another windy day Tuesday but not as strong as Monday

- Cooler fall weather for several days

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Wednesday night) Issued at 1031 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

Strong mid level low pressure and associated trough moving through the southern plains. The wrap around from the low is moving across the panhandle region with clouds and diminishing showers as well as much cooler temperatures behind the cold front. The low is taking a more eastward motion at this time and expect to see the precipitation come to an end as the low continues to move east. Much cooler temperatures have moved in behind the cold front with temps at this hour ranging from the upper 40s (over the OK Panhandle and far northern TX) to the lower 50s elsewhere. High temperatures Tuesday may not get out of the 50's across the panhandles except for the far southeast. Another mid level system is forecast to move across the area Wednesday but most areas will remain dry as a lack of moisture will preclude precipitation. The only exception would be the far northern panhandles where there will be a low chance of precip late Wed night/early Thu morning.

LONG TERM

(Thursday through next Monday) Issued at 1031 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

Pleasant fall weather is expected for the next several days. A cold front is progged to move through again late Wednesday and that will drop high temps on Thursday back into the upper 50's to low 60's. By the end of the weekend highs will start to slowly climb into the upper 60's and lower 70s.
